John/all


I saw Julian at the Leadmill in Sheffield a few years ago. It was a
very entertaining evening with lots of silly stories and jokes. All he
had on stage was his M400, nothing else. On it were MkII violins,
crisps and edgey, 8 choir (See the audience jaws drop!) and the
first time I'd heard the St John's Wood Church organ (see my jaw
drop!). Wonderful.


A wonderful lunatic. Seen him maybe three times in the last few years, all
w/psych M400. I'm not actually convinced it's MkII violins, as it's a much
'fuller' sound, with quite bassy notes - sounded more like string section to
me. Anyway, well worth seeing, even if you're not a fan of the music per se.
And no, he doesn't do his 'hits' with or without 'Tron.
